# Chapter 755: People Must Live for Themselves
Watching this scene, Jiangnan's scalp went numb!
Seven beast groups had merged together, their numbers had probably exceeded a hundred thousand!
Had he pulled monsters from half the map over here?
At this moment, there were still over a thousand weakened explorers inside the underground shelter, their combat power far from recovered!
If they fought head-on, they wouldn't be able to kill them all, would eventually be worn down and devoured alive by the beast tide.
They could only break through and relocate!
But the beast tide had already surrounded them; over a thousand people had no time to transfer!
Jiangnan's face turned ugly, his mind racing. He didn't have much time to react!
He needed to think of a way, fast, to ensure everyone survived!
Ye Zi and the others had held on until rescue finally arrived; they absolutely couldn't die here!
At this moment, as Feituo watched Jiangnan's expression, his heart felt incomparably joyful!
He said ferociously, "Enjoy this moment! Enjoy the powerlessness of watching your compatriots die one by one before your eyes!"
"You brought this upon yourself! Jiangnan!"
Jiangnan's face was expressionless, his gaze bone-chillingly cold. He merely glanced faintly at Feituo!
Then his figure had already vanished high above!
Inside the underground shelter, Jiangnan appeared and shouted loudly, "A massive beast tide is approaching! Everyone evacuate the underground shelter immediately! Don't get trapped inside! Hurry!"
Everyone's minds went blank. Hadn't the beast tide already been lured away? Why was it...
The explorers who had just finished detoxifying hadn't even had time to eat a proper hot meal!
Ling Feng exclaimed in shock, "What's going on? We're evacuating now? Everyone..."
Jiangnan said, "There's no time! The shelter's location has been exposed. Feituo has pulled almost half the map's beast tide over here!"
Upon hearing this, everyone sucked in a breath of cold air, their faces turning pale as death!
Without daring to waste a single moment, they quickly organized people to rush out of the underground research institute!
The moment they came out, they were completely stunned by the sight before them!
In the distance, spirit beasts covered the land and sky, charging toward them, kicking up滚滚 (billowing) dust clouds!
In this situation, even if Jiangnan weren't bringing Ye Zi and the others, breaking through on his own would take considerable effort!
Taking everyone to break through? It was no different from a fantasy!
They had no choice but to fight head-on!
Ling Feng's eyes turned red: "Damn it! We have to fight to the death! Otherwise, there's no way out!"
Wang Ba said angrily, "Feituo, right? If I'm still alive after this wave, I'm definitely going to kill him!"
At this moment, the exploration team members looked at the endless beast tide, bitter smiles on their faces.
"Hoo... Is this where we stop? Too bad I didn't get to eat a full meal. It's a waste to feed these beasts!"
"Haha! It's not a bad thing to go out fighting one last time. The moment I stepped down into the abyss, I was ready to never go back!"
"Good thing I wrote a will earlier. Boss Nan, please take it out for me... Eh, forget it. Just leave something for my family to remember me by!"
Ye Zi took a deep breath: "Boss Nan! You break through! We'll hold the beast swarm back for you! If you bring a bunch of burdens like us, nobody will make it out!"
Jiangnan gritted his teeth and turned back to roar, "All of you shut the hell up! Do you think I came all this way to save you just so you could die here?"
"What did I tell you? It's only been a few hours and you've already forgotten?"
With that roar, the whole place fell silent. Ye Zi and the others gritted their teeth!
If there was a way, nobody wanted to die!
But they couldn't drag Jiangnan down. In this situation, this was the only option!
Jiangnan took a deep breath and said, "Remember every word I'm about to say. All you have to do is follow orders! Got it?"
Ling Feng and the others were stunned. What was Boss Nan planning to do?
Jiangnan said, "In a bit, those who have trouble moving get on the big centipede. Ling Feng, Xiao Zhen, lead everyone to protect Ye Zi and the others. Break through toward the east!"
"I'll give you half an hour to get to an area the beast tide can't reach. Wait for me to rendezvous with you!"
As he spoke, he pulled out a bottle of Deadly Green Club, tilted his head back, and chugged it down!
Physical attack and magic attack increased, pain sensation disappeared, hero's courage took hold!
He also took a bite of Durian Pulp, bringing his total internal energy to 150%!
Ling Feng, Xiao Zhen, and the others were all taken aback!
Wait for you to rendezvous? What did that mean?
Was Boss Nan going to fight the beast swarm alone?
They immediately stepped forward and grabbed Jiangnan's shoulder: "No way! Are you trying to throw yourself in? You can't hold them off!"
Xiao Zhen gritted his teeth: "I know you're strong, but so many spirit beasts? You're going to attract their attention for half an hour by yourself? You'll exhaust yourself to death!"
"This isn't the time to play hero! We all go together!"
Jiangnan pulled out the Blood-Drinking Halberd and gripped it in his hand: "Don't be naive! If we all go together, we won't make it! I can hold them!"
Wu Liang's eyes were red: "Brother Nan! Let me help! I have a taunt skill!"
Wang Ba gritted his teeth: "I have one too! Leave more meat tanks here! You can't do it alone!"
Jiangnan glared: "What's all this nonsense? Follow orders! I can survive! Can you?"
"What time is it? Still arguing? You think we have time to waste? Everyone prepare to break through!"
At this moment, everyone's eyes were red. Boss Nan was going to take on the entire beast tide alone!
How could they let him?
Jiangnan smiled brightly: "It's no big deal, just a small scene!"
"Last time, Wang Ba stole my chance to stand alone at the pass, so let me have this one!"
Wang Ba rubbed his eyes: "Bullshit! How is that the same?!"
Ling Feng gritted his teeth and punched Jiangnan hard in the chest: "Half an hour! If you're not back, you'll answer to me!"
With that, he immediately arranged the personnel, lined up the formation. Ye Zi and the others, even if they felt terrible inside and didn't want to watch Jiangnan risk his life alone!
At this point, the only thing they could do was not cause more trouble!
Jiangnan picked up Xiao Jiuwo and handed him to Zhong Yingxue!
Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao didn't say a word. Their beautiful eyes stared unblinkingly at Jiangnan. They bit their lower lips, their eyes red.
Jiangnan grinned and patted both their heads: "Don't worry! I'll be back in half an hour!"
The two nodded. They wouldn't say things like "let me stay and face this together" or anything like that!
That would only increase Jiangnan's burden. The Jiangnan who was alone was the strongest Jiangnan!
Mila was held in Xia Yao's arms: "Jiangnan gege! You promised we'd be together for many lifetimes!"
"You can't lie! We're only separating for half an hour!"
Jiangnan lovingly rubbed Mila's little face: "Don't worry!"
At this moment, the Fish Country side was arguing!
Adams said angrily, "I told you to leave! Are you coming with them to die?"
"A large group can't break through! They'll all die in the beast tide!"
He was furious inside. He never expected Feituo to go this far, dragging Fish Country into the pit too!
Heidi kept shaking her head: "They took in our people from Fish Country! How can we be ungrateful? And run away when danger strikes? We should stay and help..."
Adams said angrily, "If all of our team members die because of one decision you made, will you take responsibility?"
Heidi's eyes reddened. The other Fish Country members also averted their eyes!
In this situation, it was indeed easier for a small group to break through!
"Then... at least bring our 18 people! They..."
Adams said ferociously, "Bring my ass! Are you looking to die by bringing a bunch of burdens? Who has the spare time to take care of them on the battlefield?"
Upon hearing this, Heidi covered her mouth, looking at Adams in disbelief. The others also felt a chill in their hearts!
Those 18 people looked dejected. Was this the rescue they had waited so long for?
The Huaxia side had come from tens of thousands of miles away to save them, and even in a desperate situation, they hadn't said they would abandon their compatriots!
But Adams? When life and death were on the line, his true nature came out!
Jiangnan frowned and looked coldly at Adams: "Earlier you said you were following us to save people!"
"Now you won't save them? Huh! You were the one who reported the shelter's location to Feituo, weren't you?"
With that one sentence, everyone's gaze focused on Adams, their expressions filled with hatred!
Roberta gritted her teeth: "Are you crazy?"
Adams broke out in a cold sweat and stepped back two paces: "No... it's not..."
He instinctively wanted to deny it, but things had gone this far. No matter how hard he tried to cover it up, he couldn't anymore!
Adams was filled with madness and glared hatefully at Jiangnan: "So what if it was me? I wanted your people to die! I wanted to watch you suffer!"
"I wanted to repay every bit of pain you've inflicted on me!"
"Now you must be desperate, right? Hahaha! You..."
Jiangnan's figure instantly appeared in front of Adams. The Blood-Drinking Halberd in his hand swept a cold light, slashing straight toward Adams' neck!
Murderous intent filled the air!
Adams was shocked. The halberd blade instantly sliced across his neck!
His head spun up into the air!
No one expected Jiangnan to make a move directly!
However, Adams' entire body turned into flowing water!
He split into five water clones, their faces terrified as they scattered in all directions!
If he had been even a fraction slower, he would have died!
Jiangnan raised his hand and used a Void Black Hole to destroy one of the water clones!
At that moment, Roberta's steel sword sliced toward him from the side. Jiangnan raised his halberd to block!
"Clang!"
Jiangnan narrowed his eyes: "You disappoint me."
Roberta's face was full of self-blame: "It's my mission to protect the Holy Son and Holy Daughter!"
"I owe you one. I'm sorry."
Heidi stood at a loss nearby, while Adams had already taken the opportunity to run far away!
He turned back and shouted, "Hahaha! Kill me? Can you do it? Where's your 0.1 microsecond?"
"Heidi! Why aren't you leaving yet? Are you waiting for the Huaxia people to tear you apart?"
At this moment, the way Ling Feng and the others looked at the Fish Country personnel was also very unpleasant!
Jiangnan flicked aside Roberta's steel sword with his halberd, his face expressionless!
"The beast tide is upon us! I don't have time to argue with you! Take your people and get out of my sight!"
"I'm going to kill Adams for sure! Next time we meet, we'll be enemies!"
"Take care of yourselves!"
Roberta gritted her teeth and had no choice but to lead the Fish Country people away!
Heidi wiped her tears, constantly nodding to Jiangnan: "I'm sorry, wuwu... It's our fault! I'm sorry!"
Jiangnan was silent. As angry as he was, he could still distinguish right from wrong!
The collusion with Feituo was probably something Adams had done on his own. Heidi and the others didn't know about it!
They couldn't be blamed. If anything, they were the ones being dragged down!
What made Jiangnan uncomfortable was Roberta's approach!
Protecting one's master wasn't wrong, but you can't lose your sense of right and wrong!
"Roberta! In this life, people have to live for themselves!"
"In this life of yours, have you ever truly lived for yourself?"
Roberta's body stiffened. Her big eyes glistened. She bit her lower lip and said, "I'm sorry!"
With that, she turned and left without looking back!
